Syntax

FUNCTION AfxGetPrinterScale (BYREF wszPrinterName AS WSTRING) AS LONG

Parameters

NameDescription
wszPrinterNameThe printer name.

Return value

The factor by which the printed output is to be scaled.

The apparent page size is scaled from the physical page size by a factor of dmScale /100. For example, a letter-sized page with a dmScale value of 50 would contain as much data as a page of 17- by 22-inches because the output text and graphics would be half their original height and width.

Description

Returns the factor by which the printed output is to be scaled.
